Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz will endorse U.S. House candidate Brandon Gill for Congress on Monday night, the Daily Caller has first learned.
Gill, who is running in the 26th district of Texas, was also endorsed by former President Donald Trump in December. Gill is in a crowded primary for Republican Rep. Michael Burgess’ seat. Cruz said Gill has set himself apart from the other candidates and is the best person for the job.
“Brandon Gill has all the best characteristics of a Texan: Dedicated, hardworking, and resilient. With a deep understanding of what it means to take on the left and the corrupt mainstream media, Brandon has set himself apart from other candidates and is the best qualified to fight the radical left and their disastrous agenda in Congress,” Cruz told the Caller.
“I am proud to endorse him for TX-26 and look forward to seeing him win his race,” Cruz added. (RELATED: EXCLUSIVE: Ted Cruz Explains How He Tanked Biden’s Nominees)
